      A Memorable Experience I Don't Want to Repeat

      Research officer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      1. Fun and brilliant colleagues 2. Strategic project/research

      Cons

      1. RDI is a family-owned foundation (not a company). On this basis, the owners consider BPJS health and BPJS labour (BPJS TK), not an obligation that must be fulfilled. Even though many projects in RDI discuss human welfare, the owners do not care for the staff's welfare (what an irony). 2. No overtime pay. Overtime can only be replaced by leave during weekends and public holidays (minimum 8 hours). 3. No national collective leave. Sick leave reduces annual leave (15 days). 4. No clear career path. 5. Swift staff turnover. Staff are required to adapt to new people constantly. Please introspect: What makes more than ten people resign in 1 year? We ordinary staff already know the answer, but what power do we have?

      Good for starting your careers in research

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      They have various interesting topics and projects for researchers, have many great experts/fellows that young researchers may work with, opportunity to expand network is great. Basic salary is above Bandung UMR, lunch is covered. 2 days wfh/a week (but you must stay in bandung)

      Cons

      No other benefits, no BPJS Kesehatan and BPJS TK and they wont even consider giving it to their employees. Micromanagement and toxic higher ups, it is a family business so despite what is says on the paper, decision making lies heavily on 1 person with heavy schedules (so you have to follow their schedule, work on holiday? sure because they have no other time to discuss this thing that may as well be discussed online but they only want discussion to be held offline). Although they have a bunch of middle management people, they have no control over what the bosses say. So, sometimes miscommunication happens. No merit based system or indicator for bonuses or promotion. If the bosses like you, you may probably get them. Administration and financing are a mess in this place. Very high turnover rate (yeah go figure why). Unpaid internship. Working overtime is usual business, but there's no compensation for that. except when you work on the weekend/holiday, they exchange it with additional leave day. Allowance for field work are heavily managed as in you only get a certain amount per day enough for 3x meals, but if you don't use the money, they will ask the rest of the money back.

      Great Staff and Middle Management, Poor Directors

      Program officer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Honestly, one of the best people i've worked with were the program teams and staff. - The middle managers (program, outreach, grant, finance, etc.) are probably the most competent people in the company. Covering for poor and emotional decision making from directors/owners. - Really love the staffs, would love to work with them again, in different circumstances. - A good place to get some international portfolio as a fresh grad, and go abroad to study.

      Cons

      - No overtime, which is sus! - Doesn't provide social insurance, although they preach about social protection, smh! - Changes plans frequently, very spontanious strategic directions from owners/directors. - Demands POs to be 10yr experienced vets in consulting/research/networking without adequate support.
